fiberglass help

i am trying to lay up a sheet (or three) over a gap in my hood and need to glass over a right angle. the side is only 1/2 inch deep and the glass has to go over the edge and then 90 degrees out over a small gap to a flat area. how can i get the sheet of glass to bend over the 90 degree and adhere without having it pull off the hood. for some reason the glass wants to bend on the 90 degree and that makes it not hold to the hood. any thoughts?

i put tape on the inside and wet out 4 layers of 6oz eglass and on a table then layed them inplace and let them sit a day then build it up the next day

that pretty much what i did as well but for some reason the glass pulled away from the inside edge. any tips on keeping it firm against the sidewall?

what glass you using? You want light stuff for complex shapes..

used 6 oz last night and it worked great. i am going to reinforce the crap out of it underneath.
